How to Make Apricot Pumpkin Bread Pudding Diabetic Heart Healthy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 2-quart square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In the prepared baking dish, combine 6 cups of cubed whole-wheat bread and ½ cup snipped dried apricots.
  4. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup maple syrup (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or cinnamon).
  6. Slowly pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the bread mixture in the baking dish.
  7. Gently press down on the bread to ensure it's fully submerged in the liquid.
  8. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
  9. Bake, uncovered, for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving.
  11. Serve warm. Optional: Top with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
  12. Makes 9 servings.
